High - Performance Radial SGI TX/RX Instrument Line Driver System for Guitars and Basses
The Radial Engineering SGI is an outstanding line driver system. It can send unbalanced guitar and bass signals over long distances. You won't lose any tone or get any noise. It's great for both studio and stage use. Musicians can keep their instrument's natural sound even when the amplifier is 300 feet away. Using standard balanced XLR microphone cables, the SGI keeps the signal strong across long runs, a must - have for modern guitarists and bassists.
In the studio, guitarists can play in the control room while their amps are in isolated rooms. They can listen to their sound through studio monitors for an accurate recorded tone. The SGI has two parts: the SGI - TX transmitter and the SGI - RX receiver. The SGI - TX connects to the instrument, turns the unbalanced signal to a balanced one, and sends it via XLR cable. At the SGI - RX, the signal goes back to its original unbalanced form, ready for the amplifier without quality loss.
On stage, especially in large venues, long cable runs can mess up the signal and add noise. The SGI solves this by balancing the signal, giving you a clean sound at the amplifier. It's very useful with off - stage isolation cabinets, under - stage amps, or remote quiet rooms. Its strong build and reliable performance make it a top choice for touring pros who need consistent sound in different places.
